Islamabad:
The question of Balutchistan overlooking discussions in the National Assembly, the lower chamber saw ardent exchanges on Friday while the parliamentary chief of the PTI, Zartaj Gul, attracted the government about his treatment of terrorism and the deterioration of the security situation in the province.
During a debate on the presidential address and Balutchistan, Gul expressed a deep sadness with regard to the terrorist attack of Jaffar Express, which cost the life of several passengers and security staff.
She deplored that even if the operation against the attackers has succeeded, terrorism continued to become uncontrollable despite the fact that the Ministry of the Interior was cluttered with half a dozen ministers.
“When the routine agenda was postponed yesterday, we expected the ministers to take the question seriously. But instead of discussing Balutchistan, they embarked on personal attacks,” she said.
Zartaj Gul accused the Minister of Defense Khawaja Asif to use the soil to target the PTI rather than addressing the Balutchistan crisis. “The Minister of Defense, who lost against Rehana Dar, still occupies his position.”
The head of the PTI noted that the Minister of Defense often lectures on morality and shame with the “Koi Sharam, Koi Haya Hiti Hai” phrase – a slogan popularized by the chief of the PML -N – but said that he applied himself to him.
The strong remarks of Zartaj Gul occurred one day after the NA went down to chaos after the opposition was refused the opportunity to discuss the fatal attack on the Jaffer Express. The PTI had demanded the suspension of questions to debate the tragic incident.
However, Friday, the Na finally gave in, approving a motion to postpone the question time for the day.
The PPP legislator, Syed Naveed Qamar, stressed that it had been agreed to take the time of the questions alongside the debate on the presidential discourse. Nevertheless, the president of NA, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, ruled that the session would proceed at the time of postponed questions.
Speaking on the ground on Friday, Zartaj Gul also allegedly alleged that 10,000 Pakistanis had been expelled from water in just 16 months, while the ministers asked for apartments from Burj Khalifa as bribes. “Instead of blaming Pti for everything, the government should show its own performance,” she said.
Driving the speech of President Asif Ali Zardari, she said that the 26th constrained amendment was a blatant example of non -democratic practices. “Why did the president remain silent on the massacre of November 26?” She questioned, referring to the government’s repression against the PTI protest rally last year.
Slamant The treatment with the government of the small provinces, she asked: “How many times have the presidency opened its doors in Balutchistan?”
She accused the president of exploiting the Sindh water problems for votes while ignoring injustices in other provinces.
Referring to the founding president of PTI incarcerated Imran Khan, Gul said: “They tell us without talking about prison n ° 804, but he won the election and is the only leader to unite the four provinces”.
She added that despite being shot, Imran has always said: “This country is mine and the army is mine”.
Meanwhile, the legislator JUI-F USMAN BAIND also condemned the “juvenile behavior” of the Assembly. “Yesterday, 70 -year -old legislators launched insults instead of discussing Balutchistan.”
He painted a dark image of the deprivation of several decades of the province, wondering why the young educated people now turned to activism and the suicide bombings.
“The Baloutche youth wore firearms once; today, they attach bombs on their bodies. Ask yourself: Who forced them in it?” He said, urging the house to decide once and for all how to approach the Balutchistan crisis.
The PML-N Sheikh Aftab legislator deplored the resurgence of terrorism, warning that the armed forces of Pakistan were making daily sacrifices.
“Nawaz Sharif summoned a conference of all parties (APC) to fight terrorism. The time has come for all political leaders to sit together and find a lasting solution,” he urged.
“If our children do not get a job, they will be forced to join militant groups.”
The PPP legislator, Sehar Kamran, has echoed concerns about the increase in terrorism, calling for a strategy to combat terrorism similar to that formed after the APS attack.
She stressed that education was imperative to fight extremism, highlighting the need to increase the literacy of women in particular.
The session of the National Assembly was postponed until 2 p.m. Monday.
